Sixers guard Evan Turner had to apologize to the Lakers after throwing down a spinning windmill dunk during the closing seconds of Philadelphia's 111-104 road victory on Sunday.

Turner's exclamation point slam was a sight to behold, but it was also a clear late-game etiquette violation, and the fourth-year guard went out of his way to make amends to multiple Lakers who seemed miffed by the unnecessary dunk.

With just five seconds remaining and the Sixers leading 109-104, Philadelphia cleared a defensive rebound and it was time to run out the clock. Turner had a different plan, though, sprinting out into the open court as the Lakers prepared to walk off the court. Approaching the paint with no defenders around him, Turner launched into a 360 windmill dunk that went home with just 0.8 seconds remaining. The slam gave Philadelphia a seven-point lead.

As he jogged back down the court, Turner finally realized the time/score situation, and he put both of his hands up as he looked at the Lakers bench in dismay. He patted his chest, as if to say "My bad," and he approached Jordan Hill, Shawne Williams, Jodie Meeks and Nick Young individually to offer individual apologies.

Williams simply ignored Turner, and Young looked none too pleased either. L.A.'s frustration was understandable: the Lakers were playing without Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Steve Nash and Steve Blake, they lost Xavier Henry to a knee strain during the game, and the defeat marked the team's fifth straight loss. If ever there was a bad time for a showboating, stat-padding faux pas in garbage time, this was it.
